So how to write an excellent and beautiful plan,
It's still the problem of many students ~
But fortunately,
Whether it's an academic paper or a proposal
It can be said to be "stereotyped writing" to some extent.
that is
You can write in a fixed pattern and form.
That is, "routine"
Then let me analyze the various parts of the proposal in detail.
Usually, proposals include:
1. Title
Step 2 introduce
3. Research, aims and objectives (Aims & amp; Target)
4. Methodology.
5. Literature review (literature review)
6. Research scope and limitations (scope &; Constraints)
7. Chapter outline
8. Timetable
9. Reference

title
The choice of topic is the most skillful, which may determine the success or failure of the whole paper. In particular, students who have more ideas about their first job in the future can consider linking their graduation thesis with related fields or topics, which can increase the probability of passing the interview.
The title of the proposal stage may not be perfect, because it is only a preliminary idea, and there may be further wording in the language later, but remember that the content of the article should be imported from the center of the title to ensure that the article and the title echo each other, otherwise it will be wrong.
Suggestion:
Choosing your favorite field and starting point will help you concentrate on the writing of the whole article.
Students who have the time and conditions can look at the papers of previous graduates, and may get some inspiration to avoid colliding with the titles of previous works.
Digest your tutor's feedback carefully, and most tutors will tell you whether your idea has research value or whether it has been studied by former students.
Once you have chosen a topic, you should plunge into it and don't always want to change it.
02
introduce
The introduction of the paper should give the reader/tutor a clear concept, the author's research direction and the expected research results. Content aspects can include:
Overview: What are the problems and events of the research object/theory?
Explain: Explain why you think these questions are worth discussing.
Description: Describe how you want to do the research and the results you expect.
Summary: Summarize the final result of this article.
Suggestion:
This is a good opportunity to present facts and pick questions. Think as much as possible about possible problems in the research process and discuss with the tutor how to solve them in advance.
Students who want to get high marks can extend themselves appropriately, go beyond their own subject knowledge as far as possible, and discuss the impact on current theory, scientific research or society. In this way, you can be distinguished if you are not careful.
If the students are stuck in introducing this link and can't think of anything to write, they must communicate with the tutor, and maybe they need to change the topic.
03
Research purposes and objectives
Aims is actually a big goal, which points out the general direction and studies the purpose of this paper.
The goal is more specific, break down the small goals that you want to achieve the big goals step by step and how to achieve them.
When establishing goals, Xiao OE suggests that you use intelligent analysis:
Specific-can your goal be easily achieved step by step?
Measurable-can you use any method to test whether the goals you set meet the standards?
What is achievable is achievable-is your goal realistic?
Realistic-Do you really have the resources to support the whole investigation?
Time Limit Time is mandatory-are you sure you have enough time to achieve your goal?
Suggestion:
There is no limit to the number of goals or objectives, as long as you can explain the big goals and small goals clearly and make them interlocking, it will be ok.
Try to use positive, strong and powerful descriptive words, and avoid using vague words such as maybe, consider and possibly. The usage of verbs can be selected as development, construction and measurement.
04
research method
Research methods are the most important in the proposal, including:
Project research method
Theoretical framework
Data sources and information sources
Method of obtaining data
Methods of analyzing data
Suggestion:
Sometimes materials and information sources may be simple libraries, but you should list the materials you are looking for systematically and orderly, giving readers enough confidence to take them seriously instead of looking for them casually. This also increases the credibility of the data.
Sometimes explaining the research method may be as simple and direct as explaining the steps to children, which makes you feel ridiculous, but this is normal.
Don't put questionnaires or interviews here, just put them in the appendix.
Always ask your tutor for advice, especially choosing the most original investigation method, and your tutor may give some more effective suggestions.
05
Literature review
Literature review, also known as literature survey, mainly examines the reading volume and coverage of students' writing.
Looking through the previous literature, we can understand the previous research in this field, and also find the direction and figures of this research. With the direction marker, your paper will naturally not be too fragmented.
Suggestion:
The purpose of writing literature review is to explore the gaps that have not been discovered or studied, so as to reflect my research achievements and contributions in this field.
Writing a literature review may involve a lot of reporting. Remember to mark the literature.
06
Research scope and limitations
The research scope should be set appropriately and broadly, but the goal should not be too big and can be achieved; It should be narrow enough, but enough time should be given to ensure the completion of the research. Most importantly, the research scope should be linked to the central idea of the paper and the goals you set.
There are many limiting factors in the research process, the most common one is the time limit, because there is not enough time, so the scope, depth and breadth of the research will be affected. Other limiting factors include insufficient data, insufficient past literature, and lack of project funds.
